SIM or eSIM - Should You Switch?

When you are looking for a way to get better productivity then you’ve probably taken a look at things like an eSIM, and maybe you found it a bit complicated. However, it doesn’t have to be that way - it is actually relatively simple to make the switch.

Should you make the transition to an eSIM? Well, we think so, but don’t just take our word for it. Let’s take a look at the many benefits offered by an eSIM over its outdated counterpart.

We feel that we should preface this by explaining that in a lot of ways the SIM and eSIM are similar - the technology is an evolution, not a radical departure from all we know. They both still connect to a network, they can be used in multiple devices, control the plan you’re on, and are both technically still considered ‘SIM ‘cards’. However, the main difference is that an eSIM is entirely digital - no physical SIM card required.

Your SIM card is now a veteran piece of mobile technology, and isn’t a new phenomenon by any means. However, with that being said, it is important to acknowledge that the SIM card itself does still have a few strengths - we will pay homage to what came before because it did lay a groundwork.

SIM cards are near universal and are used by mobile carriers around the world. They can be removed, upgraded, and you can get a prepaid SIM in about five minutes. However, they also come with faults. They’re tied to a specific location, they can be damaged, and not all SIM cards work with all phones - some are locked to particular models and makes.

Let’s be honest - there are a lot of good reasons to use an eSIM, and you should pay attention to all of them if you want to make the switch.

An eSIM is a convenient and easy-to-use bit of kit - you can download it whenever you like and get access to what you need instantly. They are the same price as a normal SIM, but you can’t lose it or get rid of it that easily - so it’s pretty safe to use. They’re also more secure and you can have multiple plans at once all at once.

It’s clear that you should make the switch to an eSIM because they can be useful and easy-to-work-with. Lots of people use them for travel and we have people all over the world who make the most out of Travel Roam.
